    No amount of dirt, grime, or crustiness is a match for the power of these magical, crud-busting products.

    1. A bottle of stain-and-odor eliminator that you should always have on hand in case your massive four-legged friend leaves a massive mess on the carpet.

    2. A pumice stone toilet bowl scrubber so you can finally say goodbye to any hard water rings, calcium buildup, iron and rust that you thought would just be in your toilet...forever.

    3. Bottle Bright cleaning tablets for anyone who can't remember the last time they actually cleaned their water bottle with anything other than, well, water. Also, if you find a used mug that's been sitting out for a few days that has a ~questionable~ substance now caked in it, these cleaning tablets will restore the mug to its former glory.

    4. This hard-working oven scrub cleaner because it's time for that burnt cheese that's been stuck to the bottom of your oven since 2019 to finally go away.

    5. A hairbrush cleaning tool designed to get every last bit of dust and hair out of your bristles. No one wants to run all that gunk over their hair when brushing it!!

    6. A garbage disposal cleaner to use if there's a funky smell coming from down your sink and you'd like to clear that up ASAP. Just shove one of the packets down there, turn on your disposal, and watch in amazement as the cleaner foams up and chomps away all the grunge.

    7. A bottle of mold and mildew remover spray so powerful, it could lift the filth from an old abandoned house. Or that one suspiciously stained corner of your shower.

    8. Or this powerful mold and mildew remover gel for all the detail cleaning in your shower. Apply the concentrated formula in the corners and grooves of your shower as well as along the caulking, leave on for six to eight hours, and then be amazed at how sparkly white your shower now looks.

    9. A box of extra-large dog poop bags because even the thought of my hand accidentally getting dirty while picking up my dog's mess is enough to send a shiver down my spine. Thankfully, these strong and thick bags make picking up dog poop as pleasant as possible.

    10. A pack of AirPod cleaners if your beloved AirPods start sounding not as crisp and clear as the day you got them. It might be that earwax, dust, and debris is clogging them up and reducing the sound quality, and this cleaner can solve that problem in a few seconds!

    32. A vacuum hose attachment that'll suck up all the dust, lint and debris that's deep within your dryer. Just attach the 2.5-foot tube onto your vacuum, angle it into your lint trap, and you'll be so shocked at how much stuff comes out of there!

    40. A drain clog remover if you've been standing in a few inches of water every time you shower and should really get around to unclogging your drain. This works just as well as a professional plumber (without the expensive bill you get afterward).

    41. A denture cleaner because no matter how much you brush your retainer at night, it still can get discolored and retain odor from wearing through the night. Drop one of these fizzing tablets in water, let it dissolve, and then place your Invisalign, retainers, dentures, or night guards to soak all day. They'll look good as new by nighttime!
